'You chose to attack my faith to threaten my very means of eating'
A Washington state florist facing ruin for her decision not to support same-sex marriage through her business has rejected out of hand an offer to settle a state claim of discrimination against her.
As WND reported this week, Benton County Superior Court Judge Alex Ekstrom authorized the state and the homosexual plaintiffs to pursue the business and personal assets of Barronelle Stutzman, including her home, in payment of damages and attorneys fees.
The Alliance Defending Freedom confirmed Ekstrom granted a summary judgment in the case against Stutzman, meaning it will not proceed to trial. A trial had been scheduled for March 23. But the ADF said it would be appealed.
Last month, Ekstrom ruled Stutzman was personally was liable for the claims against her, placing her business assets, her home and personal savings at risk.
The judge ordered this week that the state and the homosexual plaintiffs, each of whom filed lawsuits, could collect damages and attorneys fees from Stutzman.

“The judge should be disbarred”
Right answer.
Whether he should be stripped of all personal assets is something to be considered at a later time.
Sorry, can’t buy that line of thinking.
If that’s the case then we can all sue the Amish too.
The discrimination taking place here is against her religion, which is the one actually protected under the Constitution.
May Almighty God smite and destroy utterly those who are trying to harm her, and those who make the earthly laws that enable that.
I have said this on similar threads. Christian business and churches are exposed to this because they service or officiate ‘marriages’.
The word ‘marriage has been redefined because the church has let the state get involved in something that is properly under the purview of God and his church.
The day that it became necesaary to get a license to marry, this battle was lost. Government involvement inevitably leads to government CONTROL.
Christian businesses and churches need to remove all reference to the word ‘marriage’ in their services to be rendered. Instead, insert Ceremonies of Holy Matrimony.
That is biblically based term, defined, irrevocably, as one man and one woman.
There is no way around that one.
Just put a sign up on the wall and say a certain percentage is being donated to Christian legal defense organizations.
They’ll get the message.
I think we’re going to see homosexuals make further demands of people and lawsuits...as the ‘flamers’ love the limelight..they are a completely self-centered group. No doubt in my mind they will seek out Christians with businesses as a target they can “collect” from via settlements and at the same time make the news.
70 yr. old Florist who refused gay couples wedding due to her relationship with Jesus Christ.... I have friends that are gay, that wasnt the issue.... as the fag couple had been using her services for years,... The issue is that I just didnt want to participate in the marriage, she said.
Here's her flower shop she could loose if they press the issue... so far she's not willing to settle with these fags.

In former eras of America, the taboo structure would have restrained these degenerate minds from having power over the society. The oligarchs destroying America know how to accomplish their evil, and these faggots are the tools.
There was hope that homosexuals could be saved, but now the government has essentially turned them into “give me that” victims so long they are homosexuals, completing the exploitation syndrome cycle.
It is disgusting to see that homosexuals who will quit and go heterosexual for their health will be punished with costly divorce proceedings enforced by a judge unhappy he or she left the plantation.
Well I think we can say now that America has become “something other” than the nation under God we have known. Remember O-bala declared it as so...and the the majority of Christians continue to remain pretty much silent about that.
Now we will ‘continue’ to see the queers and every other degenerate group demand they be accommodated...we ARE, not becoming...a degenerate society.
God forbid. That is the logic that this administration is using to force Catholic organizations to cover abortions and contraceptives.
So God gave them over to "a reprobate mind"..; a vain empty mind, worthless, good for nothing devoid of all true knowledge and judgment; incapable of approving what is truly good, or of disapproving that which is evil; a mind that has lost all conscience of things, and is disapproved of by God, and all good men:...and this to do those things which are not convenient; which are neither agreeably to the light of nature, nor convenient to, or becoming the honour of human nature; things which the brutes themselves, who are destitute of reason, do not do. ...Exerts.Gill's Exposition
